"Begin!" Ibiki yells.

I hold my head up with my hand, propping my elbow up on the table. I peer around, trying to get a feel of all my competitors. I still have a raging headache, the grass guy, or girl, is irking my existence.

I decide to look at my paper, scanning over the slightly advanced questions. Slightly. I could answer them, but honestly I need some aspirin or something. The throbbing in my head is getting worse and worse with each hiss that comes out of that grass nin's throat.

"Oh my gosh! Shut up man!" I yell over to him.

"Sssssssorry." Grassy replies.

"Ibiki, can you please kill me now? I don't know how much more I can withstand him. Dear lord he almost as annoying as you!" I yell to my proctor.

"Shut up and deal with it." Ibiki tells me.

I look over to Kotetsu, "Hey man, you've taken this before. Wanna switch places? I can't deal with Grassy anymore." I whisper over to him.

He smirks, and of course, shakes his head no.

I slam my head down on the desk, making it crack a bit.

'Hey, maybe if I answer all the questions I can sit somewhere else!' I try to convince myself in my head.

I scribble down all the correct answers to the questions in 10 minutes, they are all pretty easy. They're all about kunai throwing and "What angle would blah blah be at if you threw it at blah blah and how fast would it hit if the wind was going blah blah."

That sums up the test.

I flip my paper over, the paper crinkling and making a bunch of noise.

"Ok Ibiki! I'm done. Can I sit somewhere else now?" I ask, slightly exited to move.

"No." Ibiki replies, a faint smirk on his scarred face.

I my mouth opens and closes like a fish, "Are you kidding me? C'mon man! At least get me a fucking aspirin or something!" I yell at him. I see Ibiki grab a bottle of aspirin and open it. He throws 5 at me, aiming to hit me in the face rather than in my mouth.

I catch all of them, but spit three out.

"People my age are only supposed to take 2 aspirin Ibiki," I say disapprovingly, "Haven't you read the bottle before?"

"I have. I thought that if I gave you 5, you might pass out and shut up." He tells me.

"I mean, if you wanted to pass out that bad Ibi-" I start to say, but stop myself. I have to act like a weakling, but honestly I hate doing that. People already know I'm pretty strong, right?

That will put my team in danger though...

"Oh Ibiki, you hurt my small and easily broken heart." I say, clutching the skin where my heart is. I turn around quickly and pull some eye drops out of my pouch, and put them in my eyes.

I turn around, and the fake tears start to fall. "Honestly, my broken heart can't take anymore. I'd probably fall at one punch, and I'm not worth fighting cause I am no where near strong so don't fight me." I say, making it slightly obvious that I don't want anyone to fight me.

Ok I made it really obvious.

But I suck at acting anyways! Eh, who cares? Sasuke and Naruto, even Sakura, can handle themselves.

I plop my head down on my arms, and start to fall asleep.

(Timeskip woohoo!)

I feel someone reaching for my arm, and I mindlessly activate my kekkai genkai, and grab their arms tightly. I open my eyes, and since my eyes are on the ground I haven't seen who it is yet. Instinct comes back to me, and I lower my voice a couple of octaves.

"Don't touch m-" I start to say venomously, before I realize it was Grassy trying to wake me up. I only want to crush his little arm more, but I refrain and put back on a happy facade.

"Sorry hun! Didn't know you were trying to wake me up." I say too cheerily. I look up at him and send him a glare. He only smirks.

"No problem. I'm sssssure you didn't mean anything maliciousss by it." He tells me creepily.

"Yes, you got it spot on!" I tell him, my voice not matching the hateful look in my eyes. I give him a silent warning to stay away from my team, narrowing my eyes at him. I undo my Teishi-tai, letting him feel his arms again.

"All right! Here it comes. Get ready for the tenth question." Ibiki yells at us. So that's why Grassy woke me up...

"And before we get to the question itself... I'm adding one more new rule." Ibiki starts.

I look back at the door, hearing a heart beat approaching us. The door opens, revealing that Kankuro guy from the Sand.

"Heh, looks like you're in luck. The time you've spent playing dolls hasn't been completely wasted." Ibiki tells him. I hear Kankuro's heartbeat increase, but him still keeping a cool facade.

Kankuro walks back to his seat, slipping something on his blonde teammates desk.

"Let me explain. This rule... is absolute. First, you must choose to accept or reject this question." Ibiki tells us. "If you reject this question and don't even try to answer it, you'll lose all of your points immediately... and fail!" Everyone gasps.

"Plus, both of your teammates will fail right along with you." Ibiki says.

"What!?" Some random guy yells out.

"Then why would we choose to reject it?!" Someone else yells.

"Because... of the other rule." Ibiki says darkly. "If you try to answer the question, and you get it wrong... You will never be permitted to apply for the Chunin Exams again. Not ever."

"You can't be serious, that's ridiculous!!! There are ninja here who've sat for the Chunin Exams more than once already! We know that!" Kiba yells, Akamaru barking along with him.

Ibiki chuckles, "Just your rotten luck. I wasn't making the rules in past years. I am now." Ibiki says, looking down on all of us. I cover up a snort.

"I've been up front with you. You can take a failing grade now, and try again later. Anyone who has doubts would be smart to reject the tenth question right now. Come back and reapply next year, and the year after that." Ibiki says.

The room suddenly goes tense, everyone thinking about what they are going to do. These people shouldn't even have to think!

"Ready? Then let's begin." Ibiki yells, so everyone can hear him.

"Those who choose not to accept should raise their hands. Once their number has been confirmed, they will leave the room along with their teammates." Ibiki tells us, and I see a ghost of a smirk on his face. He likes watching us look tense! That little...

"I-I... I QUIT! I'm rejecting the question!" Someone yells from the other side of the room.

"I quit too!"

"Me too..."

"I-I'm sorry guys!"

"I'm done too!"

I look behind me, seeing Naruto slightly raise his hand, I was about to activate my kekkai genkai, but Naruto surprised me.

He slams his hand back down on the desk, giving everyone a wakeup call. "Never underestimate me!! I don't quit, and I don't run! I'll accept your stupid question!!! Even if I risk ending up being a rookie for the rest of my life... I'll still become Lord Hokage, even if I can only make it by pure stubbornness! I don't care!! I'm not afraid of you!" Naruto yells to Ibiki, nothing but pure, 100% determination in his blue eyes.

"Honestly you guys, Naruto is right. All those weaklings who left... they didn't even deserve to be here in the first place! Would you do that on a mission, sacrifice your teammates just to save your own skin! Pathetic, each and every one of you, who even thought about quitting." I say evenly, making everyone get pissed at me, but I know if I didn't butt in with another speech, there would still be some people who would quit.

Lucky bastards, they should thank their lucky stars that Naruto and I are here.

"I'll ask you one last time. This is a decision that could affect the rest of your life. Quit now, while you still have the chance." Ibiki says, staring intently at Naruto.

Naruto smirks back at Ibiki, not afraid, "I never go back on my word. That's... my shinobi way!"

No one raises their hands, "At least these guys aren't a bunch of pussies..." I say quietly.

"Good call." Ibiki praises us. "So, everyone who is still here..."

He pauses, for dramatic effect. Everyone gulps, pushing back all of their fears and taking the chance.

"... You've just passed the first exam!" Ibiki yells.

"All 79 of you who are still here, you all pass!" Ibiki tells us again, everyone still shocked. He smiles back at us, "There is no tenth question... beyond the whole 'accept or reject' thing."

"Huh!?!" Sakura yells.

"Hey! Then why did we have to suffer through the other nine questions?! That was a total waste of our time!" The blonde from Suna yells.

"There was no waste. Those questions had a purpose, which they've already served. Our goal was to test your skills... at spying!" Ibiki yells, surprising most of us.

Everyone asks the silent question, "Remember the rules at the beginning? You pass or fail as a part of a three-man cell. With that rule, I pressured you with the fear that anything you did wrong... would bring your teammates down with you." Ibiki informs us.

"You know, I kinda figured that was it." Naruto says, obviously lying. I chuckle slightly at his attempt to lie.

"However... The questions are beyond the level that the genin could be expected to answer." Ibiki says, and I hang my mouth open.

They weren't smart enough to answer those questions without cheating?! I knew Sakura would easily ace the test, but I didn't know they don't teach this stuff to genin! They should, that's for sure!

"So most of you, having reached that same conclusion, had only one way of keeping all of your points. Cheating." Ibiki tells the genin.

"In other words, we set you on the test on the assumption that you would cheat. And, to ensure there would be suitable targets for you to cheat from, we snuck in a pair of Chunin, who already knew the answers." Ibiki tells us.

"Hahaha! Yeah! It was obvious! Any idiot could tell!" Naruto yells, lying through his teeth.

I slam my head back down on the desk and sweat drop at his stupidity.

Ibiki starts to take off his headband, "Of course, anyone who cheated in a clumsy or obvious way, failed."

He takes his headband off fully, showing us all of the scars and burn marks. This guy must be one tough cookie. I probably shouldn't compare him to a cookie... Man, this guy must be one tough cement block.

Ibiki looks at all of us, "Because there may be circumstances where being caught in an act of espionage can cost you more than just your life. You pay in ways that can be taken from you, little by little, time and time again, when many lives hang in the balance. The information you obtain can't be trusted... if you can't keep your presence secret from the enemy." Ibiki starts to put his headband back on, "Learn that and learn it well. If you bring back intelligence from a suspect source or a compromised operation... You're doing your enemies work for them, putting those you serve in danger. That is why we maneuvered you into using your espionage skills to cheat. It was the quickest way of weeding out the students whose skills aren't up to snuff."

"Okay... But what was the deal with the tenth question?" Blondie asks.

"Ah! The tenth question... was the first real test on the exam." Ibiki tells us cheerily.

"What on earth do you mean?" Sakura asks.

"Let me explain... The tenth question, was a choice between two options. It was a nasty, unfair, no-win set of options. So why did I present them? Let's suppose you all go on to gain the rank of a Chunin. You are assigned to steal a vital enemy document... knowing nothing about the skills, development, or military preparedness of your foe. You may have to cross a territory that has been heavily mined and set with traps. Now, do you accept your mission, or do you reject it... rather than place your own life-- or the lives of your companions-- in jeopardy? Could any Chunin get away with only taking the safe jobs?" Ibiki asks. "Of course not! No matter how dangerous the risk... there will be missions that you cannot decline. A ninja must demonstrate valor that inspires those around him..."

I look to Naruto, and give him a smile. He doesn't see, he's too focused on Ibiki.

"... Helping all to overcome their fear. This is the talent that we most value in the commander of a Chunin cell! Those who cannot gamble with their own fate, who would trade today's certain risk for tomorrow's uncertain future...never taking the chance that lies before them... are weaklings who only make weak and easy decisions. In my opinion, they don't belong in the rank of Chunin at all! By choosing to accept, you answered the almost insoluble tenth question correctly. If you keep that spirit, you can probably conquer all of the many doubts and difficulties you'll face." He says, looking at Naruto.

"You all passed the first hurdle. Part one of the Chunin selection exam is concluded. I'll pray you fight the good fight!" Ibiki encourages us.

"Yeah! You do that! Go pray!" Naruto yells enthusiastically.

Ibiki smile down at Naruto, but moves his eyes to the window. I hear a heartbeat rapidly approaching us, near the window.

A huge crash comes from the window, someone slamming through it at top speed.

"Her... now? Oh, spare me." Ibiki mutters to himself.

The person stops spinning, and I recognize her from the bingo book. Anko Mitarashi.

"None of you are in the position to celebrate. I am the second chief examination officer... Anko Mitarashi! Time's a wastin people. Let's go!!" She yells.

She pumps her fist up in the air, "Follow me!"

Ibiki pulls back the black curtain the she set up in those short seconds. How the hell did she manage to set up a curtain?

"Can't you sense the mood in here?" Ibiki tells her, sweat dropping. Anko blushes.

"This new officer almost reminds me... of Naruto." Sakura says, annoyance laced in her tone.

Anko analyzes the room, "78 of you are still here?" She asks surprised. She turns to Ibiki, "IbikI! You passed 26 teams!? You obviously went way to easy on them."

"This year... we have an exceptional crop of contestants." Ibiki tells her, smirking.

"Yeah, right." Anko says, obviously not believing him. "I'll cut the number by half before the next test is done. Ooh! I get charges up by just thinking about it! I'll explain things in detail as soon as we move to our next location... So follow me!" Anko yells at us enthusiastically.

Some random ninja enters the room. "Kaji Tora? The Hokage would like to speak to you!" They yell out to us. I groan really loudly.

"What does that senile old geezer want now?!" I yell out loud, and all of the genin left gasp at my disrespect. Anko laughs, "Hey kid, I like you. I'll meet you at training grounds 44, ok?" She asks me.

"You got it." I say, still annoyed by the Hokage's sudden message. I form a hand sign and teleport to the Hokages office, still grumbling profanities to myself.

"We were just getting to the good part too! C'mon right now?!" I say, opening the door.

"Whaddya want gramps?" I ask him, walking over to the desk where he sits, along with the two annoying elders of the village. I sit down on the desk, criss-cross applesauce, facing him.

He chuckles at my annoyance, "Kaji, you will be on a different team. The test only allows three people on a team, and since you were the last one added to your team, you have to go on a separate squad." The Hokage explains.

"Ugh, who are my new teammates?" I ask him, my temper starting to boil.

He pulls out two teddy-bears from behind his chair and tosses them to me. "Those are your two new teammates. Anko will explain everything to you, but you have to get both of your scrolls and come back to the tower with the teddy bears. They must still be in one piece though, if you come to the tower with only one bear, or bring both but they are missing body parts, you will not move to the next round." He tells me.

I am about to pop my top.

I try and settle down, taking deep breaths so I don't strangle everyone in this room.

"Sure." I tell them, glaring and clenching my teeth.

I form a hand sign and teleport to Naruto, as I put some of my chakra in his clothes so I can teleport to him whenever I want.

I fall right on top of him, my back on his back.

"Oomph, sorry Naruto." I say, picking up my teddy bears.

Everyone starts to laugh at me, what a surprise!

"Haha! Go run home and play with Mr.Teddy-Weddy!"

"Girls who are that weak shouldn't be here! Ahaha!"

"Oh yeah?" I challenge. "If you can catch this teddy bear, I will leave." I infuse a bunch of chakra into the teddy bear, making it extremely heavy. I chuck the stuffed bear at the guy who was laughing at me, full speed too, and he tried to catch it.

Tried.

Oh no, he didn't catch it. But, it did hit his nuts. I walk over to the kid who is holding his balls through his pants, and pick up my teddy bear, taking back all of the chakra I put in it, making it light as a feather again.

"You're so weak you can't even catch a teddy bear? Who's the one that shouldn't be here now, pest!" I hiss at him.

Almost everyone looks at me, afraid.

'Let the games begin!' I say in my head.
